My 2011 XF is leaking oil on the bottom of the timing chain cover. My mechanic recommends I replaced it but it’s a couple thousand pounds. He’s recommending I replaced the timing chain and tension mechanism at the same time which will break my cost to about 3500 pounds. That is just about what the car is worth.. should I repair it or get rid of the car?

Here she is in all her glory, very pleased with my purchase. The dealer didn’t take any pictures of the inside but it’s ivory with light brown carpets. Full history almost all Jaguar 100k miles for an absolute steal. Hurry up and get this dent done that the dealer said he’s getting done. Can’t wait to drive now.

The remap will be in association with an Elite four pipe back box which supposedly releases another 20hp so overall I'm looking at a 40 - 50hp increase, but the main driver is looks (4 pipe) deeper noise and a slight increase in mpg which will increase the cars touring range, gaining a slightly sharper quicker car is a bonus. I prefer the XK to the XKR as it has a smoother ride, a lovely supple feel in corners (still with little roll) and has better ground clearance.

Ah, OK Jim, didn't notice the year of the car !

Hi Jim (N6 JMX), I've emailed the company in Bristol and am now just waiting on a reply (although that was a couple of days ago and I've not heard anything back from them yet). I may just give them a nudge to see if they received my original message. D.

Hi Scott, excellent, well done you. Hope you are very happy in the world of Jaguar motoring. If height is fine, you may well find a sensor has a fault. N6 JMX

Does anybody on here know how to replace rear shockabsorber on jagiar 2018 sportbrake estate please ?

Apologies, I had a 2016 Jaguar XF R Sport, 2.0d. Its engine ate itself and I've been without a Jag until last week, when I invested in a 2014 Jaguar XF Sportbrake, 2.2d. Which is why my information request was for the latter, not the former. And, I've been going through the correct fuse diagrams for my model of car, to no avail. None of the functions that have been lost appear accountable by a fuse, however I will check the fuse boards for corrosion before I invest in new components.

Hi David. This is what I got albeit in a one Litre bottle, about £10 as I remember from eBay a few years ago, lools like the price may have increased now, suprise suprise. It's ready mixed so ready to go. In the pic it looks a bit reddish but mine is orange so I'm assuming this is the same. Just had a QUICK look and found this 5 Litre bottle for about £35 and a 1 Litre bottle for about £17, a more diligent search may find better deals . Hope this helps, cheers, Nige.

Hello I have a 2013 xf with the standard stereo speaker system. If I purchased a set of b and w speakers with amplifier could I just swop the speakers with mine would the speakers fit and the cabling be the same?

Hi Adrian, welcome to the wonderful world of XKR Convertible motoring. Lots of great assistance on here from very knowledgeable folks, should you ever need it. N6 JMX

Many thanks for your advice. Will follow it and report results. At 80 I am reluctant to travel to our nearest Jaguar repair garage, so as a retired C.Eng. I will have another go as I can't leave the car in any public place. Have temporarily covered the window with a plastic sheet but can only use lock without alarm

Excellent, weather is looking fine. There will be Jaguar reserved parking at the Raemoir Garden Centre on Sunday morning. It will be on the left side of the car park as you come through the gate, turn left, left and left to park with the others. We will be in the café part if no owners milling around. N6 JMX

Hello I'm seeking someone with a laptop loaded with sdd V130 software to buy I have a Jaguar xj350 V8 stuck in valet mode and security mode and I am unable to programme my key fobs. Essex UK Thank you Phil

Hi Robert, it is always possible to increase the overall height of the seat base, but it will depend how mechanical you are or whether you have access to a fabrication capability since the solution is to increase the tilt mechanism by employing a wedge or suitable bracket between the rear of the seat and the tilt mechanism. I don't have access to the XJ to check, but there are multiple adjustments available on most premium electric seat mechanisms. It is possible to raise the entire seat base itself to be higher and then it is also the case that you can tilt upwards from the rear, making the total increase quite dramatic. Are you sure you have explored all of the current adjustments? N6 JMX

The default position for the DCCV is open so if you lose the supply to it, the valve will be open. Everything you're describing says you still have air in the system. If you can get the back end on some ramps and then top the cooling system up at the expansion tank, refit the cap, run it up to temperature and then switch off, leave it overnight, that should help shift the air. Check the level the next day before running it and top up if needed. It can take several attempts at this to clear blocked air from the system.

I ran a quick check for fault codes today and one that shows up as a permanent error is "Windshield Misting sensor" Does anyone know what this is ? every works and I cant seem to find it in any parts search that i do online other than people suggest headlight or wiper sensors but both these functions are working fine. Thanks Ian

Brilliant! Thanks for that, she’s booked in for a battery swap on Weds. Hopefully that will mean I’ll be able to just enjoy the drive against and rack up the smiles per miles!!
